I bought a pair of mats from Shelton for my 308. They were gathering dust on their shelves and made a deal for $75/pair. You mean they could be worth so much more? lol:-)

Yes, if it looks closely like the Ferrari version. There are some that are doing a horsy, but it looks odd as they can't have it look too much like the Ferrari one. Same with stating "Ferrari" with the long letter "F" on top. That is copyrighted as well.

Actually, this came down about a year ago, but some mat manufacturers are slow to react. I know of one source that can still get them, only because they must be so small, that FNA won't persue them or they work "under the radar". I don't know the manufacturer directly, but you can order them through Berkshire Foreign Auto Parts, Inc. 413.499.1130 The are in MA. There are NOT the plushest ones around, (about the same as the stock 308/328 carpeting, but they do have the sheild. About $162 delivered. My only complaint, the sheild is placed a little too low. If you order, aske them to move the sheild up 3 inches from where they normally place it...

DES is right. Those custom mats may appreciate along with the value of the car. Best not to use them. Hang them on your wall like a piece of art.

Hey, Kuzi, if floor mats had serial numbers, yours would be worth something...! i could see the article in Forza, now...

"Last production Scuderia shield floor mats, serial #..."

I'm trying to order custom floor mats for my 360 spider with the scuderia shield but have been informed that FNA has put its foot down on this.
What's the deal? Infringement, loss of revenue or what?
